Hi All,
With the help of Ian over at 2nd Choice BBS, I have discovered an issue with the way Allfix creates their TIC files. As far as I know, Allfix
is no longer being developed, so I don't know if there is any way to address this...
Ok I am pleased to help you with that part but for my point if view is, probable not
for others but for me if you can fix this it would be great if not
then not a problems as I don't have any ideas to how to help you with
this as Allfix is no longer being developed
MTAFILE probable have to stay as is, I do run Tinytic on my other bbs (Sbbs) and it
does the thing, if I see the tic file before runnnng Tinytic, I edit save and then run Tinytic
Thank you for looking into this problem as to the way Allfix does to
tic iles
No problem. As Allfix is no longer in development, I am thinking of
making an addition to the MTAFILE to "fix" the problem. It's not the
right way to handle it, but it's the only way in this situation.
Give me a few days to get it coded and tested here. I'll send you a copy when it's finished.
You have helped me out tremendously. Being able to see the TIC files
that you were getting showed me where the problem was.
What do you have to edit the TIC files for?

Ok, I've got it coded here. I ran multiple tests, and it runs smoothly here. I do want to let it run for a couple days to ensure everything
keeps working as intended... :)
This will only 'fix' the description not displaying properly. There isn't much I can do about the missing 'AreaDesc' field from the TIC files. At least we won't have descriptions that are only the last line... :)
Okay, I am pleased I could help you find the problem to fix it
for my tinytic and sbbs fie tossing if I get a file with ansi description and I run it it crashes tinytic so I have to edit the tic file and remove Ansi description and type in one, then it processes it fine this is why
Okay will do and thank you for testing and fixing it.
